math: Replace const attribute with pure in totalorder* functions
Since the commit commit 42760d764649ad82f5fe45a26cbdf2c2500409f7 Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> Date: Thu Aug 15 15:18:34 2019 +0000 Make totalorder and totalordermag functions take pointer arguments. the test case math/test-totalorderl-ldbl-128ibm fails on every input pair, when compiled with -O2, which is the case for glibc test suite. Debugging showed that the test case is passing arguments incorrectly to totalorderl. This can also be inferred by the fact that compiling the test case with -O0 hides the bug. The documentation for the const attribute in GCC manual reads: Note that a function that has pointer arguments and examines the data pointed to must not be declared const if the pointed-to data might change between successive invocations of the function. In general, since a function cannot distinguish data that might change from data that cannot, const functions should never take pointer or, in C++, reference arguments. Likewise, a function that calls a non-const function usually must not be const itself. Since the pointed-to data is likely to be changed by user code between invocations of totalorder*, this patch removes the const attribute from the declarations of all totalorder functions, replacing it with the pure attribute, as suggested in the manual: The pure attribute imposes similar but looser restrictions on a function’s definition than the const attribute: pure allows the function to read any non-volatile memory, even if it changes in between successive invocations of the function. Tested for powerpc64le and x86_64.
